If, as Jesse Williams hopes, Jordan Hill and he have long "careers" together as Hawks, we might look forward to a combination like Jacob Green and Joe Nash. Looks like the FO has reinforced the trenches.

Williams was easily my favorite pick of our draft. Not sure about Hill but like I have said in other threads it is hard to questions JS/PC on any draft picks with their recent track record. Plus they are the ones working these guys out, we just watch youtube videos and look at stats and make an armchair assessment.

Who knows Williams might be a bust and Hill might be dominant.

Excited to see what both can bring to the table though especially since we seem to be hurting on the D-line with injuries as of late.

I believe that of the 2, Hill will become the Pro Bowler. He just has that X-Factor, when I watch his film. Williams will be good, Hill will be better... but witnessing the tandem together will be friggin great.

I'll admit, I am intrigued by Williams as this is the first time John and Pete traded up and selected a player. I can't be sure Williams or Simon was the target of the trade up but I think both were kind of "What do we got to lose?" picks. Williams is probably the closest thing we have drafted to a Red Bryant player, I think he'll get some looks at the 5 in pre-season as well.

Hill strikes me as that solid DT that can step in and play and though has a limited upside at the moment, honing some technician moves maybe he can be disruptive. I hope he is strong enough to counter the power run in our division.

It's too early to tell anything that they will do, but I believe both will be solid depth this year, and contribute. In a way, it's almost good that Scruggs is lost this season; we'll see more of our developmental guys on the DL. Personally, I think Scruggs was going to be here to stay as a rotational guy at 3 tech and 5 tech before he got hurt....now we'll see what Bennett, Avril, Hill, Williams and others can bring to the table.
